“Aurora, I never agreed to it, so it does not count! Why should I leave so inexplicably?”
I found it utterly ridiculous. “You still have not realized how outrageous your behavior is. This is why I had no choice but to break up with you!”
“Aurora, I am begging you. Just tell me, please.”
But how many times had I already explained it? Did he ever care about my
tears?
It was hard for me to understand what kind of girl would allow her boyfriend to go to another woman again and again.
“Jaylon, we are both adults now. Some
things cannot be undone, no matter how
much we talk about them.”
“Are you still upset about the wedding dress I made for Nadia? But it’s just a dress.”

I laughed. Even now, in this confrontation, he still tried to defend Nadia.
No wonder everyone around him looked down on me and thought they were perfect
for each other.
I shook my head, finally letting go. “Do you even remember why I called you that day?”
Jaylon froze on the spot.
I continued, “I bet you do not. You told me that day we were going to get our marriage license, that you wanted to marry me. I waited at the Courthouse from morning until night, believing your words foolishly.
“And where were you? You were dressing her in a wedding gown and lying to me about being at work.”
“I am sorry, Aurora. I did not mean to lie to you. I was just afraid you would be angry.”
I stared at him without a trace of emotion. My heart had been broken beyond repair.
He knew I would be angry, yet he still did

- it.
It was not that he feared my anger. He feared me finding out the truth.
“Jaylon, after all these years, I have done right by you. Please, stop bothering me, okay?”
Jaylon was at a loss for words. He just clung tightly to my wrist. “Aurora, do not leave
me…”
But in the next moment, his phone rang.
The name “Nadia” was displayed on the
screen.
“Your Nadia needs you again. You’d better go quickly.”
I pried his fingers off with all my strength and turned to leave.
Jaylon stood there as if caught in a dilemma, but only for a few seconds. He
left soon after.
I laughed at myself for still harboring any

When I got to the office the next day, a video of Jaylon putting a wedding dress on Nadia had once again gone viral, Rumors spread that the girl in the video was none other than the famous model, Nadia,
“But I heard Jaylon has a girlfriend, so it cannot be Nadia, right?” my gossiping coworkers whispered among themselves.
“Well, if he has a girlfriend, why hasn’t he made it public? Maybe she’s so humble that he doesn’t want to reveal her”
I kept quiet, making myself a cup of coffee,
“Yeah, and I bet he and Nadia will
announce it soon. They are such a perfect match, I am so jealous! Dressing your beloved in a one–of–a–kind wedding gown is so romantic!”
The bitterness of the coffee spread across my tongue, all the way to the depths of my
heart.

It was not that Jaylon did not know how to
be romantic. He just reserved his romance for Nadia.
I shook my head, trying to push those irrelevant thoughts away.
I handed the coffee to them and smiled, “Yeah, they are a perfect match in every way.”
